Y . THE PUBLIC MAY BE INFORMED: ow to r Ion HERE'S THE PROBLEM—During morning and evening rush hours on the Long Island Rail Road, many passengers are without seats. On the average, they stand for 14 minutes during their ride to work, and again on their way home. To furnish 5,500 additional seats in the morning and 4,000 in the evening—9,500 a day—would require approximately 84 additional cars. To build them would cost more than $6,000,000. HERE'S A SOLUTION— Cars now in use on the Rockaway Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road would be available for service elsewhere during rush hours, mornings and evenings, if the City of New York absorbed the Rockaway Beach Branch ituo fhe New York Subway System as it has planned to do. As pointed- out in. a. hearing, before the New York Public Service Commission, the'plan for acquisition of the Rockaway 1 \ - • ' Beach Branch was drawn up in 19.33 and approved by the City Board of Transportation. It would release 89 LI/R.R. cars for use elsewhere on the railroad. Those cars, with' more than 6,000 seats, added to the equipment now serving other branches would provide, on the average, more seats than there are passengers during rush hours. * New double-deck cars, augmenting present equipment, would, have been in service before this except that completion of orders had to be delayed because of war restrictions and stakes. But the orders have been renewed and 10 new double- deckers will be delivered during the first half of this year. They are an experiment, but costry.^ Today's adwded conditions are an aftermath of the abnormal increase in commutation travel during the war. In rush hours before the war, there were, on the average; more seats than passengers—and it is anticipated from estimates of future busi- ness that this condition again will develop as the postwar passenger business resumes more normal levels. For many million* leu than it would .cost to build ill proposed subway extension to the Rockawayt, th« City of New York planned in 1933 to purchase the Rockaway floach Branch of the L.I.R.R., shown by heavy line* on the map. The tale would release 89 LI.R.R. cars for use in additional trains to serve the growing communities of Long Island. SERVING NEW YORK'S 'LARGEST SUBURBAN COMMUNITY JL
